If you are ever in the position where there is a building dispute, it can be an incredibly stressful time. There could be a lot of money involved, either that you lose, or will have to pay out after the Court’s judgement. To ensure there is a fair result, the courts demand a witness report expert is presenting in a fair and balanced way, to justify the claims and show it in a way that is acceptable. At Derek Monnery Chartered Quantity Surveyors, we have been accepting appointments and providing expert witness reports in Essex and the surrounding areas for many years, ensuring that both sides of the dispute feel the case is partial and fair.
